The Republic of Fiharaya is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Bung Mar with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 16.588 billion Fiharayans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Kebon belakang. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fiharayan economy, worth 874 trillion kampuas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Average income is 52,734 kampuas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fiharaya's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fiharaya is ranked 159,534^th in the world and 8^th in ASEAN for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,303.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
